The Nasdaq led with a 0.4% advance. The Dow Jones industrials and the S&P 500 each added 0.2%. Volume was sharply lower, down 37% on the Nasdaq and off 21% on the NYSE compared with the same time Friday.

Sturm Ruger (RGR) rose 3% as it continued to climb off its June 8 low. The stock is now well above its 10- and 40- week moving averages and could be shaping a base, but the two-month correction was 41% deep.

Expedia (EXPE) climbed 3%, adding to its 20% gap-up on Friday. Mellanox Technologies (MLNX) stabbed another 2% higher and further into new highs. Both stocks are extended from their buy points.

On the downside, O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY) dipped 2%, undercutting its 200-day moving average. The auto parts retailer collapsed in late June and has since been struggling to hold support at its 200-day line.

Lincoln Electric (LECO) slid 10% after reporting a weaker-than-expected second quarter. North American markets remained strong, management said in a statement, but "we have seen demand softening in most of our international markets, and global economic growth forecasts continue to weaken."
